Orlistat Timing: Before, During or After Meals

You can take orlistat before food - specifically immediately before eating, during your meal, or up to one hour after finishing. This flexible timing makes orlistat convenient for different eating schedules. Each 120mg capsule should be taken with main meals containing fat, up to three times daily. If you miss a meal or eat something fat-free, you can skip that dose. Our UK-licensed prescribers provide comprehensive guidance on optimal timing during your online consultation.

Prescription Orlistat Options and Pricing

We stock three orlistat options following clinical assessment. Generic orlistat 120mg offers excellent value from £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg provides the identical clinical effect at £42.99 for 4 weeks (£38.69 with EDM10). Alli 60mg offers a lower-strength option at £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10). All products contain the same active ingredient that may help reduce absorption of approximately one third of dietary fat when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.

How Our Online Prescription Service Works

Complete our confidential health questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, and weight management goals. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your information and determines treatment suitability. Following clinical approval, your prescription is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester and dispatched with tracked next day delivery. The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours from assessment to delivery, with prescription costs included in our pricing.

Clinical Assessment and Suitability

Orlistat 120mg may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 28 and above with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Our prescribers assess individual circumstances including current medications, medical history, and weight management goals. Treatment works best when combined with a structured lower-fat diet containing no more than 15g fat per meal, alongside increased physical activity.

Managing Treatment Effectively

Success with orlistat depends on dietary commitment. Keeping fat intake low (approximately 15g per meal) minimises gastrointestinal side effects while maximising the medication's fat-blocking action. Most patients find side effects reduce as they adapt to a lower-fat eating pattern. Taking a multivitamin at bedtime (at least 2 hours after your last orlistat dose) helps maintain fat-soluble vitamin levels. Our prescribers provide detailed dietary guidance and ongoing support throughout treatment.
